It's October, and time to give your players a good scare! Vigilance Press proudly presents our newest product line, Due Vigilance, a line of villain teams to drop into your superhero campaigns. Issue one, The Oktobermen, features a sinister group of ne'er-do-wells with a supernatural bent. Not for the faint of heart, these villains aren't afraid to play dirty:

Springheeled Jack leads a team of ghosts, witches, shapeshifters, and other blackhearted mercenaries to help him achieve his goal: gathering 1,313 souls to promote himself to full-demon status so he can inherit his true power! This book describes the characters in Mutants and Masterminds Third Edition rules, gives you a relationship chart to see how they interact with each other, a set of standees for the characters, full-color artwork, and more! You also get several ideas for adventures, and two npcs to help jump-start one of the adventure seeds. The PDF also comes with the full set of characters in Hero Lab portfolio form, as well as artwork for each character.

Due to the sinister nature of the characters, this product is aimed at older teens and up!

An average product- i did like the characters and how they interacted with each other, with one notable exception...Spring Heeled Jack himself. The artwork of the character...well he doesn't fit with the feel of the rest of the group and i would think [...]

This is a great product. A team of (varying degrees) evil mercenaries with magical powers, the group is pretty useful anywhere you run a supers game that does, indeed, have magical powers as any part of the game. I have two magical characters in my cam [...]

Beware, for the Oktobermen haunt the night committing mystical crimes for their own benefit. If a group of occult-themed supervillains fits into your Mutants & Masterminds campaign, the Oktobermen may be just what you need for supernatural scenario [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
